fabric made only in the Attakapas

Cultivate Flowers.


1t is the dnty of every one to per-
form a full share in contributing to
the comfort and pleasure of the CON-
munity. There is no way in which
this may be done with less labor and
expense than by the cultivation of
flowers. They not only lend beauty
to the face of nature, but they
charge the atmosphere with an
aroma that is delightful and health
full.
The opportunities for cultivating
flowers are abundant. Every inch
of waste ground may be utilized
and made to blossom with roses and
carnations and pansies and various
other buds of beauty and fragrance
which will feast the eye and delight
the sense Of smell. This can be &C.
complished at a very small expense
of labor, while it will yield won
derfnl harvest of pleasure.

A Crime Against the Public,

Charleston News and Courier
There was in the old common law
of England crime called "engross-
ing" which is defined by Abbott to
be ''the practice of buying up large
quantities of provisions with intent
to enhance the market price by ere.
ating scarcity, and thereby to sell
at a profit" "The modern law
says the same authority, scarcely
recognizes this as a crime" The
more's the pity, for crime more
wide-reaching in its effects, or more
contemplate and cruel in its motive
is scarcely to be conceived. For.
remember, the subject of it is sspro-
Visions the food and drink of man
or beast. The millionaire in New
York or Chicago, sees a chance of
making what he calls a corner, in
wheat, corn, bacon or what not; he
buys up the available supply, the
cost to the millions OF poor men the
country over is enhanced, and the
profits 60 into the pockets of the
heartless schemeragainst the public.
Surely the old law was COED one,
and should be revived by positive
legislation.

Trouble Ahead.

When the appetite fails, and sleep grows
restless and unrefreshing, there is trouble
ahead. The digestive organs, when healthy,
crave food. the nervous system, when vigorous
and tranquil, gives itspossessor no uneasiness
at night A tonic, to be effective, should not
be q mere appetizer, nor are the nerves to be
strengthened and soothed by the unaided ac-
ton of sedative or narcotic. What is re-
quired is medicine which inyigorates the
stomach, and promotes assimilation of food
by the system, by which means the nervous
system, as well as other parts of the physical
organism, are strengthened. These are the
effect Of Hostetters Stomach Bitters, medi-
cine whose reputation is founded firmly in
public confidence, and which physicians COM
mend for its tonic, anti-bilious and other
properties. 1t is used with the best results in
fever and ague, rheumatism kidney and
other maladies.
